A search is on for three men accused of knocking a woman unconscious in an apparent anti-gay
attack less than two weeks after she gave a television interview about her marriage, authorities in
Michigan said yesterday.

The 28-year-old woman and her partner were wed on March 22 in Washtenaw County, one of four
counties that briefly allowed same-sex nuptials after a federal judge struck down the Michigan ban
on gay marriages.

The woman was confronted by three men after she got off a bus on Monday evening close to her
home near Ypsilanti, about 35 miles west of Detroit, the Washtenaw County sheriff’s office said.

She and her partner were one of more than 300 couples across the state who sought licenses,
and her image was broadcast on local television, a sheriff’s office spokesman said.
